Remove "All Discussions" from sidebar?

KEP

How would I go about removing "All Discussions" from the sidebar? I'd like to create a parent category named "All Discussions" to force 2 of my categories with many nested sub-categories to collapse, and it looks goofy having 2 "All Discussions" links in the sidebar.

One of a number of ways to do it is to add a js.

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.PanelCategories li:first').hide();
});

you can add the js any number of ways - plugin, themehooks, default.master.tpl, default.master.php, etc. etc. see other discussions for adding js.

You could use category accordion

or

http://vanillaforums.org/addon/hidepanel-plugin

to collapse categories.

and add the js above to either of the plugins.

One more quick question about my sidebar if you don't mind. How would I go about disabling the "Categories" hyperlink at the top of the sidebar? Here's a pic...

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.PanelCategories li:first').hide();
$('.BoxCategories h4:first').animate({opacity:.01});
})

or 

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.PanelCategories li:first').hide();
$('.BoxCategories h4:first').hide();
})

that may be trickier if you use the other plugins above. specify or give link to your site rather than images for any future answers.
